Module Owner: Mark Rivers: University of Chicago
This page is the home of mca.
mca supports Multi-Channel Analyzers (hence the name), and also related devices such as multi-channel scalers (MCS), waveform digitizers, and programmable ADCs, amplifiers and power supplies.
mca includes a new record, the mcaRecord.
Devices supported in mca include:
From Canberra Industries
The Canberra support runs on vxWorks, Linux, and Windows (win32-x86, windows-x64 static/dynamic). It should also run on other Unix systems if the libnet and libpcap packages are intalled.
From Amptek
From Struck Innovative Systems
The SIS support runs on vxWorks and RTEMS. The SIS3820 support runs on Linux with the SIS PCI/VME bridge.
The Rontec support will run on any IOC with support for asyn serial ports. It will also run with better performance using Bruker's QM100 high speed interface.
Drivers that support the asyn version of the mcaRecord device support are provided for additional devices in other synApps modules that I've written. These include dxp, areaDetector, ip330, and quadEM.
Please email any comments and bug reports to Mark Rivers who is responsible for coordinating development and releases.
In May 2015 this module was moved from the synApps Subversion repository at the APS to epics-modules/mca on Github.com. R7-7 is first release after this move. All tagged releases, including those from before the move to Github, are available as tar.gz and zip files on Github.

After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).
gunzip mcaRX-Y.tar.gz tar xvf mcaRX-Y.tarwhere X-Y is the release.
